"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

I thought the plasma sword looked way cooler in Halo then in Halo 2. The glow that it had in Halo could look so much better in Halo 3 if they kept the same basic look to it.

The plasma sword in Halo 2 looked like a two thin layers of plastic with glowing water in the middle. If the took what they had in Halo and added all the lighting and whatever new graphic features they use now, the plasma sword would look so good.

Does anyone else think the plasma sword should look more like the one from Halo CE?

Call it an energy sword and maybe I'll answer.

Go play Mario 64 or something, or stop being a douche.

It seems one thing we can expect for what we saw in Halo -> Halo 2 is that even the familiar weapons will probably look different somehow.
So I would expect the energy sword gets a new look.

Plasma Sword - Halo: Combat Evolved

Energy Sword - Halo 2

Two different weapons.

Stop being stupid.

This is why these forums are horrible. This guy just asked a simple opinion question and you guys have to be asses about it and say stuff that doesn't even relate to what the original poster said. If what you're going to say doesn't help anybody out or give your opinion on what the poster said, then don't post.

And to the poster: I liked the Halo 2 sword better actually, but with better graphics, the Halo:CE sword could look pretty good.

Did they call it an "energy sword" in Halo 2?

Well that's kind of stupid thing to do in itself to put that weapon in Halo 2 and say it's different then the plasma sword. I think most people who first saw it assumed that Xbox sucked so much it couldn't handle having plasma sword graphics so they just toned it down in Halo 2.

If it's that big of a deal, I say get rid of the "energy sword" and let us have a plasma sword.
